      @@clairebourke8465 My elder sister and Father are both lawyers, she recently finished law school and now works as a public defender (to gain experience), apart from being constantly bombared with racism (people will record me and call me a terrorist lmao), Police officers in the states are real shit bags, even if your client is in the right they will FALCIFY evidence to get anyone in jail. I love how everyone sees Australia as an god of a country, but its far from it. As I write this, I was racially made fun of roughly 3 hours ago by a Teen and His group of friends, I don't know if it gets better when I'm an adult but for now its something I've got to deal with. The only thing I really am nervious about the racism is when it get phisical, unfortunatly, I have gotten into a fight against two 14 year olds who were recording me and made my brothers (twins and 7 year old) really uncomfortable, after I told them to piss off they got really agressive and pushed one of them to the ground, which is when I pushed them back and kicked them in the foot (which I may have done a tad bit to hard as one had tears in his eyes as the other was holding his broken phone after I pushed him). After that me and my brothers jolted off. Not really a corruption story but one I wanted to share about the common "Australia is so Inclusive" Myth, I have though multiple times to call the police but am worried about how they would treat me... In conclusion, Australia is Really corrupt, Racism is real and sucks ass

      They are the "Fixated Persons Investigations Unit".

Which apparently just means they were created to surveil and harass enemies of the NSW government. They don't investigate actual crimes that have taken place.

I remember at the time thinking, "So a comedian is being raked over the coals by politicians for being offensive; sounds about right for the absolute state of the world." Isaac clearly didn't do this man justice in his presentation, though; I had no idea the work he was doing was so important - and direly serious.
      This whole narrative also reminds me of a man named Gary Webb; if you don't know who that is, look him up - but be warned that any news articles you can find about him were intentionally as discrediting as possible.
      I say "were" because Mr. Webb was found dead with two bullet wounds to the back of his head almost 20 years ago, which was officially ruled to be a "suicide."

    When he was alive and when we lived in NSW in Australia, my father used to work in a pretty high position in the government.
    When I heard him talk I was baffled with how much corruption and outright incompetence he had to deal with. He helped save a lot of money that was bleeding out (being utterly wasted), and in the end some of the politicians basically tore into each other to be the one to take credit for my father’s work…
    Only for NSW to “lose” as much as my father had helped save (half a fucking billion dollars) because a deal didn’t “workout” when in reality it was most likely stolen and/or used as fucking payouts in this Nepotism hellhole that is Australian politics and business.

As we got older and wiser, of course, we stayed for the journalism. Without him, I don't think most of us in our 20s could even begin to understand what goes on in our country's politics, as it's unfortunately kind of the norm here to be raised to not give a shit and just let people do their jobs, vote who your parents vote for, etc. We owe a lot to him and his team for the work they have been doing. It's difficult, it's confronting and it's dangerous. I'm so glad everyone is physically okay after the firebombing, but I knew it was getting bad when Kristo was thrown down and arrested. These politicians are absolute buffoons, which makes the power they wield all the more terrifying. They're convinced that they're totally untouchable. I truly wish Jordies and his team all the best and hope they find the protection and justice they deserve so they can keep fighting the good fight. God knows how much we need them.

      American here and before this, I had no idea you guys in Australia have to deal with such BS. Right now, we're dealing with some free speech issues - a lot of smooth brains in the US don't even understand how our first Amendment rights work and seem to think a private citizen calling them a dumbass for spewing dumb shit out of their ass is a violation of their right to free speech. A lot of them need to watch Jordies videos to truly understand what being attacked for free speech really means. But, that being said, at least we can (usually) speak out about whatever and not get thugs sic'd on us or our house firebombed...
      Independent and unbiased journalism has become distressingly rare and exceedingly dangerous. People in power can't stand online scrutiny, in particular, because they just can't control it as effectively (yet) as older media. Videos go viral fast and it's impossible to head off scandal when it's reached that point. The Internet is a treasure trove of information that's been carelessly tossed out there without the slightest inkling that yes, people can and will dig that sh*t up. Never underestimate someone with a stable Internet connection and no fear of speaking the truth.
      I love Jordies videos and I subscribed immediately.

He was a journalist and has found out that the biggest politicians and the police force were not only corrupt but also involved in human trafficking.
